I was so worried about this with IVF because I respond so well to meds. There ended up being no issue and retrieval went perfect with no early ovulation

Wow. This sounds exactly like my ultrasound results and plan for this week down to the IUI on Friday!

Yesterday at my U/S I had 3 follicles on the left (15, 16, 18) and 2 follicles on the right (13 and 17). They said there is a chance the 13 may not mature enough to ovulate but may. Anyway, I am supposed to trigger tomorrow night and then IUI on Friday morning.

This is my third IUI. Last month I was paranoid about ovulating early and went in the afternoon before the scheduled 36 hours after trigger and was still unsuccessful. I decided this month that I don't need to test for O since I am being monitored and I need to stop worrying about everything. So, I know how you feel. The NP did tell me that the follicles will grow approx. 2mm every day until ovulation. Since we are both getting the exact same instructions on same size follicles I now feel even better :)

I was also told that with IVF they use these measurements and timelines and that has to be even more precise timing then IUI so I feel good to know that these methods are tried and tested on the egg retrieval system.

When I thought I was ovulating last month they had me trigger that day and come in the next day for IUI instead of what we scheduled. But don't do anything until you speak with your doctor. What type of test did you use?

yeah, if you are taking something that can give you false positives then definitely wait to hear from the doc first. i have decided to not OPK test this month and try to relax and go with the flow... I figured that if I needed to do something different then maybe that is it, LOL! Because part of me wonders if I messed things up last month by insisting on going in a day early. So, I will trigger tonight around 8-9 and my IUI is scheduled for 9 on Friday. I also figure that having "relations" at home too will help cover us. So, we did on Monday night, will tonight, and will Friday night after IUI. I really hope this is our month. If not, we have a vacation planned next month so timed intercourse is our only option until the following month. So, I suppose we can evaluate our options next month if this month doesn't take.

yes! I am currently 32w with a little surprise baby after ovulating before trigger and iui. My dh and I b d every other day after AF to ensure we caught the egg bug my u/s missed my growing follicle and ovulation. We thought my meds weren't working.

Are you not on Orgalutran or something to stop you from ovulating? I was on Elonva and then Puregon to mature eggs and then Orgalutran to stop ovulation, then the trigger to ensure detachment from follicle wall exactly 36 hrs later so that the doc could retrieve eggs while still in follicle.

Oh and yes I felt pain and was bloated too, even tho I only had 5 follicles the right size. Before IVF I also experienced ovulation pain and bloating, good luck.
